Gene expression profiling for 4 Zebrafish samples
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In our previous study, by microarray detection, we illuminated the gene expression profiling in copper-exposed embryos. We found that genes of hematopoiesis, hemoglobin genes exhibited significant increase in copper-exposed embryos. In addition, copper-exposed embryos presented relatively high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), while the oxygen binding and oxygen transporter activities were also up-regulated in the embryos. Moreover, the scavengers NAC, GSH, and DMTU not only inhibited in vivo ROS levels induced by copper, but also significantly rescued expression of hemoglobin genes back to almost normal levels, and also helped with copper excretion from the copper-exposed embryos. Our data first demonstrated that ROS mediated copper induced increased expression of hemoglobin genes in vertebrates, and copper excretion was blocked by its induced ROS.
